And your episodes always leave me with a lot to say!!!<br /><br />Anyway, I'm a little tripped up by your wording regarding the complaining stuff, so just to clarify where I'm coming from -- I think you were RIGHT to complain in this episode. I'm just speculating on what it would be like to hear a positive episode. I thought this was a solid best/worst recap show.<br /><br />You have a really good point about titles where the woman's name isn't in there. It's like that Storm mini series X-Men: World's Apart. WTF? If should have been Storm: World's Apart. But they chickened out and thought that slapping X-Men on it would make it sell better.<br /><br />And I did read today's SHNH... well, most of it. Some of it I skimmed, so obviously I need to go back and reread :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16940496855754297188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619267610230382993.post-5477065564239343032012-01-16T16:01:28.636-05:002012-01-16T16:01:28.636-05:005 out of 7...not bad ;)
I didn't feel this wa...5 out of 7...not bad ;)<br /><br />I didn't feel this was our best effort. I think we got tired partway through. Also the nature of picking so many categories blunted much interesting discussion of any one thing that wasn't so surface.<br /><br />I agree with you that we complain about the same things and that can be frustrating, but I disagree that we were wrong not to complain about said things in this episode in particular since it was a best/worst of 2011 cast and thus a bit of a summary. I'd be down for a "POSITIVE CAST!" I'll ask Sue. Maybe we can do one when Maddy comes back for "spring" break. <br /><br />Lastly, I don't consider X-Men Legacy a "female led title" largely due to the fact that it's simply not called ROGUE. And thus the lead can (and has) changed at any time. It's true that in Carey's hands Rogue was most often the absolute lead, but it's still a large ensemble cast, and it's not named after her so that can change at any time. I also point you to my recent more detailed arguments on SHNH (especially the comments) about why a titled named after a character and how that builds that character is important to the development and growth.<br /><br />http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2012/01/02/she-has-no-head-bests-and-a-few-worsts-of-2011/<br /><br />Thanks for the great feedback Nick!1979 semi-finalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18310546229222082140noreply@blogger.com
